A clinical nurse received four phone calls from discharged clients as following. Which one is at highest priority for the nurse to follow up?

    1. An above-knee amputation client discharge with crutches yesterday called for arms edema and numbness.

    2. A gastric cancer client discharged with intravenous tube insertion 2 days ago complained infiltration around insertion side.

    3. A fractured client with traction about home called that the rope of the traction is broken.

    4. A mother of a 4-month infant with infant apnea syndrome told the nurse that the alarm of Respiratory monitor did not work well.

這個題目中的病人都帶有不同的醫療器械。第一個病人上肢的水腫麻木，很有可能是拐杖使用不當或者不合適，需要糾正調整。這是一個有關 peripheral circulation的狀況。第二個病人保留針頭外滲，也是一個peripheral circulation的狀況。第三個病人的牽引的繩子斷了，需要幫助修復，否則影響骨折的恢復，但是這個情況并不致命。第四個病人因為有呼吸停止綜合 征，所以需要使用monitor all the time，并且一定要有報警裝置，報警時一定要立即檢查嬰兒的呼吸情況。現在報警裝置出問題了，雖然嬰兒本身可能還沒有出現呼吸停止，但是仍然非常危險， 所以要先解決。因此這個題的選項應該是4。
